Abstract
A field serviceable assembly includes a frame with a first and second gasket located along the front and rear perimeters thereof and a first and second electronic display assembly hingedly mounted thereto in a back to back arrangement. A gap is located between a transparent layer and an electronic display in each electronic display assembly. A cavity is defined by the space between the first and second electronic display assemblies and has a plate for receiving a plurality of electronic components. The cavity and the gaps form a substantially sealed closed loop when the first and second electronic display assemblies are placed in the closed position.
Claims18
A field serviceable assembly for displaying images comprising:
- a frame having a front perimeter and a rear perimeter;
- a first and second gasket located along the front perimeter and the rear perimeter, respectively, of said frame;
- a first and second electronic display assembly mounted to the frame in a back to back arrangement, each of said first and second electronic display assemblies comprising:
- a transparent layer;
- an electronic display;
- a hinging device configured to permit the electronic display assembly to rotate between an opened and a closed position;
- and
- a gap defined by the space between the transparent layer and the electronic display, wherein the gap is configured to receive circulating gas;
- and
- a corrugated layer;
- a common cavity located in the space between the first and second electronic display assemblies and the frame, wherein said cavity is configured to receive circulating gas from both the first and second electronic display assemblies;
- a plate positioned within the cavity between and substantially parallel to the rear surfaces of the electronic display assemblies, wherein said plate is configured to receive a plurality of electronic components;
- a closed loop for circulating gas comprising said common cavity and said gap of said first and second electronic display assembly, wherein the closed loop is substantially sealed when the first and second electronic display assemblies are placed in the closed position;
- and
- an ambient air pathway passing through the corrugated layer of each of the first and second electronic display assemblies.
